“I’ve had it before so we’ll deal with it and move on”, he added. I know what is at stake.

Kelly said he felt embarrassed by the way his team played but confident it would turn it around in time for its trip to the Meadowlands to face the New York Jets next Sunday. After two straight losses to open the season, the narrative will morph into questions about whether it was Kelly’s system that won 10 games his first two years or whether, maybe, it was Andy Reid’s players after all.
The Eagles (0-2) were favorites to take the NFC East title away from Dallas, but look more like a team that will contend for the top pick in the draft than the playoffs. If the Dallas offense collapses without Romo, the Cowboys will start looking for another backup quarterback. McCoy’s replacement in Philadelphia and last year’s leading rusher, DeMarco Murray has 21 carries for 11 yards and a score on the ground.
He has looked dead in the water throughout the first two games and Chip Kelly is struggling to figure out ways to use him in the offense. We have Kellen Moore on the practice squad and he’s a guy we brought in here for a reason. A lot of it comes down to fundamentals, the blocking, throwing and catching aspect of it.

Dallas’ emotional leader had surgery to fix the injury and is now expected to be out between eight to ten weeks. Kelly said that wasn’t a concern for the training staff. But Peters, 33, is clearly not playing at the level of the seven-time Pro Bowler that he is.
Kelly didn’t have a lot of answers or immediate solutions for what’s ailing the Eagles. “We have to get it better”.
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s recovery from a fractured left clavicle won’t require surgery.
On the back of two successive 10-6 campaigns, Kelly got rid of nine players in the offseason – many of whom are contributing for other teams right now.
“We didn’t do a great job on our down blocks on the sweep game”, Kelly said. “I thought our defense played a really, really good football game”.
“We have to go back to work”, Kelly said.
